#496 of 537 What should you pay for a 2006 430? by tjohn Nov 15, 2006 (6:55 am)
fin, your absolutely right - there seems to be little interest in the 430 given the superior pkg the 460 offers, given you could pay invoice for a 430. Go to ?Bay Motors and search on Item number: 290047423391, this car has NAV and RR Cam, something I really want. I've walked around the car on my lunch break and it's amazingly clean for a "new" car with 6k miles on it. Like you, I believe invoice is still too much on a 430 (and Dealers should not expect to get that), even if it has 0 miles on it, let alone a Demo like this one. I'm starting to think $45k is more reasonable. One thing to consider is that L Dealers are now loosing money every month on any 430 sitting on their lot, so I think there is far more incentive than the average buyer knows about to get it off the lot, other L incentives that we don't know about. I think $12k below MSRP for an 06 430 is too much (no offense, marv), $15k to $18k below MSRP is the target, IMHO.

#498 of 537 What should you pay? by tjohn Nov 21, 2006 (7:39 am)
Marv, I should clarify, I think $12k below MSRP for this particular 2006 LS 430 with 6000 miles on it is still too much. The dealer is Nalley Lexus Galleria.
#499 of 537 WOW, Here They Come - OFF LEASE 430's!!!!! by tjohn Nov 29, 2006 (11:28 am)
I just did an online check with my Lexus dealer to see what LS430's they have on the lot - they have more than they can get rid of! ...and of course they are asking outrageous prices...   They have 10 USED LS 430's, 5 NEW 2005 LS's & 7 NEW 2006 LS's...all on one LOT!!!   If anybody wants a good deal go to Nalley Lexus Galleria, they would be foolish not to sell any one of those cars to someone that is willing to buy one.   happy motoring
#500 of 537 Just bought 06 LS 430 with Ultra Lux pkg by theguru78 Dec 26, 2006 (9:55 pm)
Dear All,   I just bought a 2006 LS 430 (10k miles) dealer car (never titled) with all the options (i.e. ultra lux package with dynamic radar cruise control & Pre-collision) for 51k black with (Ecru) interior.
#501 of 537 Buying a 2004 LS430 by rindge Jan 16, 2007 (3:08 pm)
I came across a cherry 2004 LS430 with 49000 miles on it at a lexus dealer in buffalo. It does not have the nav system or mark levinson sound. The dealer wants $30k for the car. For an extra $3k he will bring it up CPO standard, which as you know gives me the warranty protection. Edmunds tmv for the car is about $35k. What do you folks think about that type of pricing? Is $3k steep to pay to certify as CPO? they claim it does need work - brakes etc to get it up to CPO standard. The car has a clean car fax and has had all of it service checkups.   thanks Replies to this message: rgsw (Jan 16, 2007 7:49 pm) rindge (Jan 17, 2007 5:23 am) rgsw (Jan 17, 2007 7:37 pm)

Replying to: rindge (Jan 16, 2007 3:08 pm) I'm not familiar with the term CPO. Does the $3K to bring the car up to CPO include the extended warranty? I don't think Lexus will sell you an extended warranty after three years and or 36,000 mile. However, I'm not up to date on their terms. Looks like you have only 1K miles left on the basic car and more on the drive train. I guess, I'm wondering what a reputable private garage/mechanic would charge for the same service as the dealer is willing to provide. I note that Kelly Blue Book for my Area (NM) shows the 2004 LS430 as Retail $$43.8K, Private Party (good condition) $35.9K, and Trade In Value (good)as $30.5K. Good luck. I'm sure you will enjoy the car. Replies to this message: rindge (Jan 17, 2007 5:23 am) rgsw (Jan 17, 2007 7:37 pm)

Replying to: rgsw (Jan 16, 2007 7:49 pm) CPO is Certified Pre Owned and would provide the car with the Lexus 3 year 100k mile warranty. I'm trying to figure out if it is a godo deal - it seems as if it is. Replies to this message: rgsw (Jan 17, 2007 7:37 pm)

Replying to: rindge (Jan 17, 2007 5:23 am) I was thinking that the extended warranty was around $2700 and that was a couple of years back. Sounds like a good deal. I personally would like the extended warranty if I were going to drive the car up to aroung the 100K mile mark or so. Good luck.
